There’s something in the water at the Stuckey house, and if I was a professional wakeboarder, I might be over there drinking from the garden hose, or at least gravitating towards what great wakeboarding looks like today. There has been a bit of well-earned hype behind the Stuckey name in the recent past. The Alliance Wake 2023 ROTY was claimed by older brother Trent, apparently Gavin wanted to keep the trophy on the family mantle for another year … maybe 2?

We have all known how insane Gavin is on any cable park or winch mission, but less so as a boat rider. Well, a bit of focus and Gavin is rapidly making his presence felt in all aspects of riding now, specifically behind a boat. The team at Alliance is looking forward to see if we will have Gavin on a podium at a boat event this summer. That seems like it’s only a matter of time.

As with every ROTY selection we have influence from many of the past ROTY’s as well as industry-centric know-it-alls and media. We have always leaned towards riders that can do it all, those that can excel in all aspects of riding and sport promotion. The race was tight as we moved into the early winter of 2024 … then Gavin dropped “FUSION” and the selection became obvious.

Gavin and Fam

Gavin’s 2024 season is a perfect blend of all the things the world should want in a ROTY. Congratulations Gavin Stuckey – 2024 Alliance Wake Rider of the Year.
